Insights into Victoria’s role and impact in Newark, particularly those connected to its extensive preK-12 education grantmaking, were gleaned through an analyses of the evolution of Newark, the history of education in Newark, and the history of foundations in America. Several themes emerged from the research, an examination of the archives, and 28 oral history interviews including: charity vs. philanthropy, risk-taking, scattershot grantmaking, self-reflection, issues of race, and evaluation.

This report describee the activities of the Commission from its establishment on June 24, 1958 to the completion of its work on December 31, 1964. It was the task of the Commission to organize a program of events that Would appropriately commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New Jersey in 1664. I believe this report will show that the Commission effectively met its responsibility, and that the ~ercentenary obs~rvance instilled in the people of our state a renewfd spirit of pride in the New Jersey heritage. It is particularly gratifying to the Commission that the idea of the Tercentenary caught the imagination of so large a proportior. of New Jersey's citizens, inspiring many thousands of persons, young and old, to volunteer their efforts.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database.

  • National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet
    NPS Fonn 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior prop name Mountain Lakes HD National Park Service county Morris, New Jersey National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number ___)o!8 ____ Page lof28 Statement of Significance The proposed Mountain Lakes Historic District is distinguished among American residential communities in land use and landscape design. From its founding as a residential park, Mountain Lakes has integrated family living with man-made lakes, natural streams and springs, woodlands and wetlands. Dedicated parkland and undeveloped borough-owned lots contribute to spaciousness in both the proposed Mountain Lakes Historic District and the larger Borough. Throughout Mountain Lakes, forty percent of land is Borough-owned open space.1 At critical junctures in its history the Borough purchased additional undeveloped land to protect Mountain Lakes and the proposed district from intrusive development and to preserve its original design and character as a residential park. Mountain Lakes' ability to regulate its growth and maintain continuity in both landscape design and architecture has been characterized as unique in assessments of recent American city plauning.2 Its original housing stock-­ much of which remains today--was strongly influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement in the United States. By their location on natural rather than graded terrain, and, the use oflocal building materials, the Craftsman-influenced homes closely connect to nature and critically

There are over 2,400 firms engaged in manufactures in this city, and over twelve hundred distinct branches of manufacture carried on within its limits. The history of Newark dates back about 225 years, when the place was first settled by a colony of sturdy New Englanders. Nearly or quite forty years after the landing of the Pilgrims on the rock- bound shores of New England, the religious differences of opinion among colonists of the Plymouth and adjacent settlements, had increased to such an ex- tent, that it was thought best by some of the leading spirits of two of the towns of the colonies, that new fields should be occupied, and fuller opportunities given for the cultiva- tion of religious thought and action.

  • A Blueprint for Building Historic Preservation Into New Jersey’S Future 2002 - 2007
    New Jersey Partners for Preservation: A Blueprint for Building Historic Preservation into New Jersey’s Future 2002 - 2007 James E. McGreevey Bradley M. Campbell Governor Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner P.O. Box 404 Trenton, NJ 08625-0402 September 20, 2002 Dear New Jersey Citizen: Under Governor James E. McGreevey’s smart growth initiatives, New Jersey is actively pursuing the revitalization of the state’s urban areas and encouraging the preservation of historic resources and open space. Along with economic development and community revitalization, historic preser- vation in our urban, suburban and rural areas is an essential element of promoting livable communities in New Jersey. I am pleased to present you with New Jersey Partners for Preservation: A Blueprint for Building Historic Preservation into New Jersey’s Future. This document is also known as the New Jersey Historic Preservation Plan and will be in effect from 2002 to 2007. Over the past year, the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office, Preservation New Jersey, and a host of advisors have worked diligently to complete this plan, which is intended to guide not only the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office in the Department of Environmental Protection, but also to provide direction to state, county, and local government agencies and to private organiza- tions and individuals in their efforts to protect and to preserve New Jersey’s rich and diverse history. Faced with many challenges in our efforts to preserve the state’s environment, I believe this plan, in conjunction with the New Jersey State Plan and smart growth principles, will enhance our efforts to preserve New Jersey’s important historic and archeological resources and to promote livable communities throughout the Garden State.
